Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a microphone including a particle filter disposed between a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) substrate and a carrier substrate. A MEMS device structure overlies the MEMS substrate. The MEMS device structure includes a diaphragm having opposing sidewalls that define a diaphragm opening. The carrier substrate underlies the MEMS substrate. The carrier substrate has opposing sidewalls that define a carrier substrate opening underlying the diaphragm opening. A filter stack is sandwiched between the carrier substrate and the MEMS substrate.

Disclosed herein is a sensor package substrate that includes a first mounting area for mounting a sensor chip. The sensor package substrate has a through hole formed at a position overlapping the first mounting area in a plan view so as to penetrate the sensor package substrate from one surface to the other surface. The through hole includes a first section having a first diameter and a second section having a second diameter smaller than the first diameter. A step part inside the through hole positioned at a boundary between the first and second sections constitutes a second mounting area for mounting an anti-dust filter.

A micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) includes a flexible membrane that creates a suction force by flexing to permit manipulation of a microscale object. The MEMS element includes a casing structure; a flexible membrane attached to the casing structure; and an electrode structure, wherein a voltage applied to the electrode structure causes the flexible membrane to flex relative to the casing structure. The flexible membrane and the casing structure define a gap into which the flexible membrane may flex, and a foot extending from the flexible membrane in a direction away from the casing structure, wherein the foot and the flexible membrane define a clearance region on an opposite side of the flexible membrane from the gap. When the MEMS element interacts with an object to be manipulated the foot spaces the membrane apart from the object, and flexing of the membrane generates the suction force for manipulating the object.
